A ''Status effectdisease''can be caught by [[animal]]s being poorly treated and may pass to other animals or [[player]]s.

== Animals ==A disease arises mainly from two factors: large amounts of animals standing together in pens small spaces (three or more on one [[tile]]) or by catching it from another animal or player that is diseased. A disease causes an animal to lose [[fat]] faster and player characters eventually die if left untreated. Pregnant animals seem to have a higher chance of miscarriage when diseased (when giving birth). Diseases can be prevented by grooming an animal regularly. You can also catch tell when a creature needs grooming by [[examining]] it. Animals usually require grooming about every two real life days. To slowly cure this status, make sure the animal is well-fed, put it in isolation, and use a [[grooming brush]] on it. Another option is to ask a [[Fo]] priest to cast [[Humid drizzle]]. This will instantly heal the disease(note that client delay may sometimes delay reporting of a newly disease-free animal in-game when this approach is taken).

== Animals = See also ===Animals will likely catch a disease if they are penned up and not treated properly* [[animal husbandry|Animal Husbandry]].

As a player , it is possible to catch a disease after contact with diseased animals. It is also possible to catch a disease from contact with many non-diseased animals or players. When the power of a disease is over 100, skill gain is impaired. It has been suggested that disease also lowers one's [[Combat rating | combat rating]].
